. . II Power Natural gas is a principal source for new power generation in North America. Cleaner burning than oil and coal, it produces 50% fewer emissions. Today, natural gas makes up more than 55% of our energy production, making us the largest producer and supplier in the U.S. Security About 20 million households throughout the U.S. rely on natural gas from BP to provide much needed heat and power. And now, by relying on sources closer to home such as our natural gas supply in nearbyTrinidad, we'll be able to deliver that energy even faster. The Future While renewable energy technologies continue to be developed, we feel natural gas can be the clean bridge to an alternative energy future. By shifting the fuel mix to cleaner burning natural gas, the U.S. could reduce emissions of CO 2 by up to 53%. bp @ 2004 BP p.l.c. beyond petroleum@ bp.com
